This week on The Forum, we explore the question: “How can we become people of nonviolence and help the world become more nonviolent?” In addition, how can we help build a global grassroots movement of nonviolence to disarm the world, relieve human suffering, make a more just society, and protect creation? Nobel Peace Prize nominee John Dear tries to answer all these queries and more in his new book, entitled The Nonviolent Life, suggesting that being nonviolent not only to all people, but ourselves, all creatures, all creation, and joining the grassroots movement of nonviolence are paths towards living this life. Dear spoke at Community Christian Church in April, and we are pleased to bring the audio of that presentation to you this week.
